Fun fact: Due to what was probably copyright issues, the Micheal Jackson zombie in Plants Vs Zombies was taken out of future versions of the game. One of the only versions that contains this reference now is the original PC release version.

From my knowledge it wasn't because of copyright issues, it was because the developers found having a sombie of someone who recently passed was distasteful.

Fun fact - Michael Jackson was actually going to make a TRUE Successor to Thriller. While he did make another horror-themed short film in 1997, called "Ghosts", in 2001, Mike released his last album "Invincible", with the last track being "Threatened", a song similar to Thriller, but much more dark and aggressive. The song was planned to have a music video, with a choreographed dance sequence, just like Thriller. However, due to a fallout with Sony, the album became a flop for Mike's Standards, and thus only 2 Music Videos were released. Thus, the music video for Threatened was lost. Give a listen to Threatened, you can almost see Michael dancing to it.

[@tristancampbell4941]

Been listening to (And downloading) a lot of MF DOOM recently (A fellow NY-er) just seeing all the old school cartoons put to him rapping. I feel like that would be cool if rappers did that more, putting cartoon scenes in from their childhood. Maybe that's just me.

Black Midi just put out a new single with an animated music video that tells a story that connected to single they put out last year. They didn’t need to go that deep but they did and it was seriously worth it because the music video is something I would watch if it was like a movies worth of time, it’s that good.

[@marioi.carrillo6264]

that's exactly what i was gonna say. The music video for Welcome To Hell its just if not more mind melting than the song itself, which is saying a lot.

[@himbokoopa]

also, i suggest others who haven’t checked out the music video to slow to check that out. that music video cuts between 3 different types of music videos (2d animated, 3d animated, and actual filming), and it’s absolutely incredible. also, for those who haven’t, check out black midi in general, genuinely one of the best experimental rock bands imo.

Almost nobody knew Mr Rager had a music video. To be fair, there are a lot of interruptions in the song and the song itself wasn't ever a single, so it makes sense that that music video fell out of the radar, even for Cudi fans themselves.

I sometimes binge watch all of the important Weeknd music videos, so I have to click on the “Is this okay to watch?” warning like 5 times throughout the whole thing. One downside of him collaborating with other artists is that their music videos usually aren’t as good as his. He’s got some great music videos with other artists like the ones for Love Me Harder, Die For It, Power Is Power (even if that throws in a lot of GOT clips), Lust For Life, and Over Now. But, as for music videos for songs like Low Life? You can’t tell me those come anywhere close to the videos for After Hours. And, I know that a lot of people dislike False Alarm, but that song’s music video is a huge reason why it’s my favorite off Starboy.

[@jb_jr0]

Yo these might not be getting as many views as your other series but KEEP ON MAKING THESE I love these videos, much love bro

[@erncolin]

I think ScHoolboy Q and The Weeknd have some of the best videos. Like Weeknd makes a universe for each album cycle which I love and the videos so cinematic. My favourites are Belong To The World, Live For, Heartless and Snowchild. ScHoolboy Q's videos are just so creative like witH video for JoHn Muir wHere it's in tHe perspective of tHis guy's car or tHe video for Dope Dealer wHere it's tHe perspective of weed from being a seed to being sold on tHe street.
